Water quality, and metal and metalloid concentrations in water, sediment, and fish tissues from Innoko National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, 1995-1997

Description

This study was conducted by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists from 19951997. The study goals were to determine selected metal and metalloid concentrations in water, sediment, and fish tissues at sites within and upstream of Innoko National Wildlife Refuge; determine the uniqueness of chum and coho salmon populations of Illinois and California creeks by comparison of their genetic characteristics with those from other locations; and determine the histologic baseline conditions of juvenile silver salmon in Illinois Creek. This report focuses on the first objective, determinations of water quality variables, and metals concentrations in water, sediment, and fish. Stream water, sediment, and fish samples were collected from 26 sites: 20 sites on Innoko National Wildlife Refuge and 6 in the upper Little Mud River drainage, in areas associated with the Illinois Creek heapleach gold mine. Mineral deposits of many types have been located around the Refuge and placer mining for gold has occurred in many of the major and minor drainages that enter the Refuge. Extraction of mineral resources may affect fish and wildlife resources and their habitats within the Refuge.
